If we want to keep both, then the currently existing lang/gcc3-* are not
named correctly, as they would in fact be gcc3.3-*.

Does this mean that the import of gcc-3.4 would lead to the following
packages:
lang/gcc-3.4
lang/gccC-3.4
lang/gccC++-3.4
lang/gccF77-3.4
lang/gccJava-3.4
lang/gccObjc-3.4
IMHO that's pretty ugly. Maybe that should then be:
lang/gcc3.4
lang/gcc3.4-ada
lang/gcc3.4-c
lang/gcc3.4-c++
lang/gcc3.4-f77
lang/gcc3.4-java
lang/gcc3.4-objc
But as I said, then we probably would have to rename the existing gcc3
packages. Neither sounds appealing to me.
*shrug*
I do appreciate your work on getting 3.4 into pkgsrc - thanks for that.
I just noticed the ada package as being oddly named, as I haven't
followed pkgsrc-wip.

This one's tricky. You have to use imaginary numbers, like eleventeen...
